Traps installed on Exchange servers and Database servers

[Timmy24]

Greetings...

We are currently rolling out Traps and have been having a hard time finding out if we need to add scanning exclusions for servers like Exchange, Sql, and Oracle. With traditional AV there were always exclusions that needed to be conifugred. Is this the same for Traps? I have found some information saying they are running it on Exchange as is with no exclusions.

Any help is appreciated. 

Thank you

@Timmy24,

I can't speak to performance on any Oracle host; but we haven't run into any issues without any exceptions on Exchange 2010/2016 environments or SQL Server 2016/2019 installations.

Similar to BPry we haven't had any issues in our environment with Exchange, SQL, or other sensitive servers and currently do not have any exclusions related to them. I would recommend building out a "report only" policy and see what Wildfire might catch as a first step. After you're comfortable with it you can adjust the profiles to whatever you need. We're quite happy to have moved to Traps. Considerably less administrative overhead.

thank you for the replies. We have installed this on one of our Exchange servers and SQL servers as is with no issues so far! 

Thank you!

Glad to hear.  As CraigV123 mentioned, it is a good idea to test in a learning mode by setting the action to Report before setting the action to Block.
